Don’t Throw it Away!

Every Thursday, in our neighborhood, is bulk trash day. I always see so many things that could be donated or reused. I’ve seen couches, chairs, toys, bikes even a punching bag. All of theses items “looked” in good shape. I don’t inspect them, unless it looks like something I need or want, but I often wonder why theses things are not being donated to a local charity.

There are other ways to get rid of unwanted items without throwing them in the trash and filling up our landfills.

Join Freecycle. Here you give away for free what you have and don’t need and you receive for free what you need, but don’t have. There are local Freecycle groups everywhere.

List items on Craigslist. There is a section on Craigslist that lists items you want to get rid of for free or you can find items for free too!

Find a new use for the item. Can it be repainted or used for something else. A neighbor has a baby’s changing table in their garage to store thing on.( It’s been there for at least 8 years!)

My family actually has a yard sale three or four times a year and whatever doesn’t sell, we load it up and take it straight to our local Goodwill.

So don’t throw it away – give it away, donate it or reuse it.

So What Did I Do Sunday?

I laid on the couch and watched meaningless TV (my parents were so nice to take our daughter to the beach so my husband and I could enjoy one last weekend of rest), I delivered a yucky cold (not a baby), and I worked on hair bows. With two little girls coming into the home, hair bows can get lost and worn. Wondering how to make your own hair bows, check out Fly Through Our Window’s Tutorial on making Hair bows Here. Darby, a girl friend of mine (I had to take some ownership) also has some other great tutorials including Eyelet Sock Tutorial, Fixed Roman Shades, and a Pleated Apron. You can see all her tutorials Here. I am not much of a sewer myself so I stick to the hot glue gun and ribbon activities…but Darby on the other hand has some genuine talent!

…

This is my bow display in each daughter’s room below. There a mix of bows I made, Stephanie made and ones that are store bought. To make the holder, it was VERY easy. I bought a frame at Micheal’s (one that doesn’t have a back – I even used the 40% off coupon.) I lined the back with 5 ribbons for which I clip by bows to after each use. A very cheap, very expensive looking craft.

T Minus 4…that is how long I have until little gal arrives. I will be induced September 9 (9/9/09) if we have not had her by then. Don’t worry, I WILL be around (Think of the countless midnight hours I will be up. You can expect great posts when you wake up. Just kidding, they might not make sense or might be full of additional typo errors – just bear with me.) Really, though, I do have a great line of guest posts, will still be covering Publix, Walgreens, CVS, and Kroger for you, as well as any other great Internet finds – it is all planned out so you will barely notice things changed in my household. To top it off, once I am back on my feet (18 years from now – right? jk)…once I am back on my feet I have a REALLY NEAT SUPRISE!

…

So pray for me folks – I am remember how painful this thing really is and how tired I will really be! Pictures to come!

Vista Print – My Great Buy!

I had to share with you my great buys at Vista Print (I mentioned last week I was ordering thank you notes for a recent baby shower.)

…
I got 20 PERSONALIZED envelopes and 20 PERSONALIZED thank you notes for $8.99 (including shipping!) If I were to buy thank you notes at a store, they would be around the same price – just not personalized.

First Thank You Note

This was intended to be a Birth Announcement on Vista Print. The back side is the same just in gray scale (like a shadow.)

The First Envelope

This side is the front. The back has the return address on the top of the flap (the boarder is also running down the left side on the back.)

The Second Thank You Note

The back has a gray boarder. The envelope is similar to the above envelope just with a matching pattern.

…

I shopped the “Free” category of the website Here. I shopped in the birth announcements and the thank you notes/stationary area. Since you can personalize your items on Vista Print, even if you shop in an area not intended for what you are doing (in my case shopping in annoucements instead of thank you notes) you can make it just right for you needs. I could have personalized these designs even more to include my daugther’s name but I wanted the option to use it for either child. Start shopping Here.
